427917 - Refresh button crashes Firefox when listening to a mp3 file.

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Luke Curley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

I was listening to a song online and wanted to hear it again, so I hit the refresh button. Firefox crashed and does so every time that I've tested it. Great job otherwise, but it'd be nice to squash this bug asap.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Listen to any mp3 file in Firefox (enter in the url)
2. You don't need to listen all the way through it, it crashes regardless.
3. Hit the refresh button, or hit F5.
Actual Results:  
"Not Responding..."
The second time the Mozilla crash report picked it up.

Expected Results:  
Restarted the song, or not crashed!

If you need a mp3 file to test this, I was listening to:
http://www.splamm.com/rick.mp3

Yes, it IS a rick roll, but this bug is legitimate and I'm not trying to get you to listen to the song. I discovered the bug on the first as I was linking the url, but the bug does exist on other mp3 files I have tested.

Firefox doesn't play mp3 files but it can use a plugin to do that.
If you report a bug about a plugin you have to name it and add the used plugin version to the bug report.

You can use about:plugins to find the plugin and version which is playing mp3 files.

If you report a crasher, test it first in the Firefox safemode and if it still crashes add the Crash report ID in the bug report that you get from about:crashes but it's possible that the crash reporter doesn't works on some crashes.
